UtahVette: Thanks so much for the effort. I really do appreciate it. I'll try to have him research further from other family members and see if it...
BTTT Anybody?
I think I'm in the right place for this... I have a friend of mine (completely computer illiterate) who's having a bit of nostalgia going on and...
For the best pictorial on Ford flathead bellhousings, starter plates, etc., and their differences, go here:...
I dig it... At least he's got something to drive. My 29 pu is still languishing on jack stands in the garage. I would agree with the "done right"...
Cool! Good info, Gimpy. Thanks. The pix you posted make a lot more sense now and I like the idea of moving the subframe back and filling in the...
Thanks, Gimpy. Short and sweet. I guess most of the chops I followed had been done on the frame. I figured I had to get everything aligned,...
Not sure exactly how to approach this. Yeah, I'm subscribed to threads about chopping the top. No problem there. However, the 1929 Model AA truck...
Awesome! Subscribed...Can't wait to see it come together. Oh, and I think you're right at least a little bit more than 50% of the time, by the...
Johnnie, Can't wait! Always an awesome show... Both the Friday night one on Main St., not to mention the live band is always top notch (can't wait...
Isky Max-1. A little nicer than a stock 8BA cam. Very little rumpity rump, but a good runner. Nice low end. Here's a short youtube video of mine...
Yup! What he said, and it still looks more like a stocker. Here's a link: http://www.lindertech.com/bhrs/flathead_chev.htm
I dig it! Anything offbeat or Edsel and I'm in... More pics?
So, here I am minding my own business putting my newly rebuilt flathead on Craigslist for sale. I've read a few threads about some of the scams...
^^^^ X2... No kidding... And a Merry Christmas to you from over here on the other side of the hill in GJ...
Try Doug Corson's Classic and Hot Rod Interiors in Grand Junction (hey, you said the farther west the better...). His # is: 970-210-0462. Not...
Don't let it get you down. Flatties are awful sensitive to timing (and, hence, your overheating problem) issues and the stock Loadamatic dizzy...
The flathead adapter I bought from Speedway a couple years ago was in a Speedway box, and when I opened it up, it was marked Offenhauser... I...
That is so far beyond cool... Most of my family lives there in Grants Pants and I've been out there for the last few years (with the 51 Chevy AD...
AANNdddd...When you tap in your oil pump idler gear take the time to check and make sure it's not in backwards, or it won't engage the rear cam...
Oh, NOW you've done it!!:D
Welcome from over here on the other side of the mountain in Grand Junction.
3 3/8" (3.375) is considered to be a maximum "big bore"... Needs a whole different gasket kit, such as this one:...
Good to hear it, John! Hope to see you hangin' around at the Gunnison show this year (and the after party)... Chris
Well said, and I Totally agree, Rocky! Too bad you're in the Reno area. Guess you're going to miss the annual 4th of July Mt. Rubidoux fire, er,...
I feel your pain, bro, being as I was hassling with a 52 F-O-Matic. You've done everything right so far, but I'd move over to Ford Barn on this...
Thanx for the pix and all the "other" info, Bob. Nicely done. There are some times that I SOOOOO miss O.C., and SoCal in general...(Hey, Bob, to...
Get well soon, John! We've still got the Gunnison show to go to in August and fishin' at Blue Mesa Reservoir... :-)
Thanks, F&J, I think I have my answer. Appreciate the step by step. It sounds easier now than it did before. Many Thanx! Chris
F&J: Yeah, I was wondering about how hard it would be to retap if I migged (a mig is all I have), but wasn't sure. I like your idea of redoing...
